Hello All! It's time for a much-needed journal update from Saphire! :3
Okay, so tomorrow I'm leaving for Lake Tahoe, in my anuual trip up to my grandparent's condo. I look forward to this every year, and dread it at the same time. XD
How can this be, you ask? Well, Tahoe is great. I love it there, it's cooler than down here in Arizona, and the beaches are wonderful. The mosquitoes and lack of constant internet are a slight downer, though, but very slight. What makes me dread this trip is the 16+ hour drive up there. Yes, you heard me right. SIXTEEN glorious hours cooped up in a car with all our luggage, my little 13-year-old sister, and my parents. [sarcasm]OH JOY.[/sarcasm]
We used to do it in two days, but now we do it in one. I don't really know why, but I guess it's our lack of frivoulous spending budget and rising gas prices.
However, my dad says that we'll have enough saved up next year so we can fly! Well, not commercially. My dad's a private pilot, so he'll fly us in a little Cessna, which is the size of your average car, if you haven't seen one. It'll only take 8 hours in that thing. XD But it's much better than 16, I'll tell you.
Anyway, let's get away from my griping, shall we? This year I'll have limited internet access through my dad's phone's internet. With this, I really hope to give you guys a little run-down of what we're doing at Tahoe. Won't that be fun? XDDD
Seriously, though, I usually get a bunch of drawing and writing ideas while on this vacation, with the limited internet and computer access and all. So be prepared to see a flood of drawings to come into my Deviantart in a week or so! XD
Well, I'm off to continue packing and such, so I'll talk to you guys in a couple days.
~Saphire.
